Call quality was excellent and both the internal volume and speakerphone was plenty loud for us. Talk time was above the rated time of approx. 3 hours, and instead around 4 hours.

Motorola have thankfully seen the light and realised that it’ll take more than interminable colour options to keep its range fresh; what they’ve given us instead is an attractive, capable handset that, while not attracting as many glances as the V3 first did, certainly didn’t make us ashamed to carry.

Fast, responsive interface. Lets you read text messages on outside screen. Music player supports both WMA and AAC.

Still, the RAZR2 feels like a good start, and if there is one thing we can be sure of, there will be more of them. Many, many more.

Unfortunately, its function does not follow its breathtaking form. This ultra slim, ultra sleek phone does a great job at appealing to the fashion conscious crowd, but it fails to deliver as a stable phone for the rest of us. For now the RAZR2 is full of software glitches, quirks and all around frustration that make using the phone a maddening experience.
